The sixteen clubs were divided into two groups. In the first stage, called Taça Piratini 2012, teams played against teams from the other group. In the second stage, called Taça Farroupilha 2012, clubs play teams from their own group. In both stages, the top four teams from each group qualified to the play-offs. The winners of each stage play off for the overall title. The bottom two teams in the overall standings will be relegated.

Overall Table
The overall table considers only the matches played during the first stage of both Taças and will define the two teams that will be relegated to play lower levels in 2013. The Taça Champions are placed on the top of the table. The best placed team not playing in Campeonato Brasileiro Série A (Grêmio, Internacional), B or C (Caxias) will be "promoted" to 2012 Campeonato Brasileiro Série D. The best three teams not qualified to 2013 Copa Libertadores will qualify for 2013 Copa do Brasil.
